PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil
(MCT) is a premium oil designed for those
who demand the absolute best lubrication
for their motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is the
result of extensive research, and it is
specially formulated to excel in all areas
unique to motorcycles, including high
engine RPM, wet clutch lubrication, extreme
pressure regions of gears and rust common
to short drives and storage.
AMSOIL MCT is multi-functional and
fulfills the requirements of both domestic
and foreign motorcycles. It outperforms
other conventional and synthetic motorcycle
oils.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive
synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s
first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in
1972. Trust the extensive experience of
AMSOIL The First in Synthetics® to do the
best job protecting your engine.
Reduces Friction, Heat and
Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection
is not sacrificed with AMSOIL
Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. AMSOIL 10W-30
keeps engines running cool by effectively
reducing friction and heat, and it contains
a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to
reduce wear regardless of the operating
conditions (see Four-Ball Wear Test graph
below). AMSOIL MCT is thermally (heat)
stable and contains maximum levels of
oxidation inhibitor additives. It is
extremely resistant to volatility (see
NOACK Volatility graph below) and
engineered to prevent damaging sludge and
carbon deposits for superior engine
cleanliness.

Provides Extreme Pressure
Quality Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL MCT, there is no need for
separate transmission lubricants. It is
shear stable and will not thin out from
mechanical activity. AMSOIL MCT performs
like a gear lube without the negative
effects of extreme pressure additives, such
as poor wet-clutch performance.
Delivers Superior Rust and
Corrosion Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage,
humidity and short drives. Rust can cause
major damage such as uncontrolled wear,
compression loss and blow-by. Good rust
protection, however, comes by design and is
not natural to engine oils. Unlike many
motorcycle oils, AMSOIL MCT contains
special anti-rust agents that deliver
superior rust protection. With its high TBN
(see TBN graph below), AMSOIL 10W-30
provides greater protection from acid
corrosion and helps maintain internal
engine cleanliness.
Provides Excellent Wet Clutch
Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil
contains no friction modifiers and promotes
smooth shifting and positive clutch
engagement. It controls heat and prevents
slippage and glazing, promoting longer
clutch life.


APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil is
recommended for liquid- or air-cooled
4-stroke motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and
UTVs requiring an SAE 10W-30 fluid. It
meets SAE 80, API GL-1 gear oil
requirements and is recommended for
transmissions on both 4- and 2-stroke
motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is recommended for
Honda®, Yamaha®, Suzuki® and Kawasaki®
motorcycles and scooters, as well as Arctic
Cat®, Can-Am®, Honda®, Kawasaki® and
Suzuki® ATVs and UTVs. Not recommended
where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is
required.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil is
compatible with conventional and synthetic
motor oils; however, mixing oils may
shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce
the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not
support extended drain intervals where oils
have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are not
recommended for use with AMSOIL motorcycle
oil.
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the
motorcycle manufacturer change interval
(miles/hours) or one year, whichever comes
first, in engines and transmissions. When
using an engine filter other than AMSOIL
Ea, change the filter at standard
intervals.
For “off road” use, change AMSOIL MCT at
motorcycle manufacturer intervals.
Racing or modified engines are excluded
from extended drain interval
recommendations. Oil changes
are at the owner's discretion.
